In a freewheeling interview with Travel Daily Media, Abdulla Yousuf, acting director in proximity market at Dubai Tourism talks about how the emirate has opened up to welcome travellers and ensuring travellers’ safety and wellbeing through its various initiatives.

TD: Dubai was one of the first emirates to open up. What are the new precautions and measures that you are taking to ensure safety of residents and travellers alike?

AY: With the city opening up again and with many locations and entertainment facilities being made accessible to the public we are very keen on ensuring every traveller’s safety and well-being. With that in mind, Dubai launched a compliance programme ‘Dubai Assured’ to certify and recognize hotels and retail establishments, food and beverage outlets and attractions that managed to implement all public health protocols for the prevention and management of COVID-19. The initiative is part of Dubai’s efforts to being considered one of the world’s safest destinations.

Combined efforts of the UAE’s leadership, government and tourism sector stakeholders, as well as Dubai Airports, Emirates Airlines and flydubai, led to Dubai receiving the Safe Travel stamp by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and most recently Dubai has been ranked third among the top 10 safest cities to travel to in 2021.

TD: What are the new attractions that have now opened up in Dubai?

AY: With the ultimate goal of Dubai becoming the world’s most visited city, Dubai has always captivated tourists from all around the world, with its stunning architecture, futuristic layout and an array of attractions that continue to add to the ever-growing list. Some of the recent openings are as follows: The Palm Fountain made its debut on 22 October last year and successfully broke a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest fountain, with water shooting up 105 meters above 3,000 LED lights.
